The statement is valid from Saturday 5 a.m. until Wednesday July 1, at 5 a.m. The [NWS San Francisco CA](https://www.weather.gov/mtr/) informs, “An increased risk of sneaker waves and strong rip currents expected.” “Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion can be expected. Sneaker waves can sweep across the shoreline without warning, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties and beaches,” the NWS said. “Stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside infrastructure. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf and NEVER turn your back on the ocean.” For more weather alerts in the Bay Area, visit [Weather Advisories](/weather-advisory/) Sourcing & Methodology This article was generated by software that analyzes National Weather Service warnings and advisories and creates an article based on templates created by humans.
